The Democratic States of Jack Reed is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its public floggings, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.675 billion Jack Reedians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 59.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Jack Reedian economy, worth 225 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Retail, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 15,340 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Jack Reed's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jack Reed is ranked 182,401^st in the world and 7,377^th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 601.46 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
